Shop Floor Best Model for Skill Imparting: DU Vice Chancellor

Skills acquired through hands enter once heart and increase the chances of sustained employability.

Vice Chancellor, Delhi University Dr. Dinesh Singh made a passionate appeal to the academic institutions to have industry integration to acquire skills at the shop floor of the leading industrial houses of the country to equip themselves with necessary skills and become employable at the first sight. He said this while addressing a​​ Conference on Skilling India for Global Competitiveness under aegis of PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry here today.

 

 

He said, “Skills acquired through hands enter once heart and increase the chances of sustained employability. Even Mahatma Gandhi called upon youth of India many decades ago to practice and profess deeds with their own hands to empower them with skills for sustained livelihood.  Scientists of eminence and international repute with superb genius faculties such as Einstein and Newton made greater discoveries and inventions while integrating their brains and hands together”, said Dr. Singh

Among others who spoke on the occasion emphasizing the critical importance of the skilling for India’s global competitiveness comprised Vice President of PHD Chamber Mr. Gopal Jiwarajka, Chief Operating Officer (Skills), Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, Ms. Gayathri B Kalia, Head, MIS and Monitoring, National Skill Development Corporation Ms. Gouri Gupta and Director (Vocational) CBSE Mr. M V Prasada Rao.
